“I found you. You’re here. And I was over
there. But now I’m over here. I’m here.
You’re my brother. I love you”
When Franz’s mother escaped to the West with one of her
identical twin boys, she left the other behind. Now, 25 years
later, Karl crosses the border in search of his other half. As
history takes an unexpected turn, the brothers must struggle
to reconnect.
Mark Ravenhill’s (Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat, Shopping and
Fucking) visceral new play examines the hungers released when
two countries, separated by a common language, meet again.
60 years since the foundation of the Federal Republic
and 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Royal Court
presents Off The Wall, a season of new plays about Germany.
This includes The Stone by Marius von Mayenburg (The
Ugly One, Fireface) and a series of readings of new plays
by German writers.
